Baby blues, will this ever end?

Hey girls, I had my baby girl 8 days ago and the blues are coming in hard!! My worst time is the evening between 4-8. The only way I can describe is pure despair and darkness. So so so emotional, feeling like I don’t love my baby enough, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, fears of ppd, missing and grieving my old life. I know I love mg baby girl and I would literally do anything for her so I’m so confused as to why I’m feeling like this. I have moments of happiness and like ‘yes I am loving this’ and then moments of ‘omg what is my life’ and I feel so so guilty and feel like I’m such a bad person and mum. Luckily I do have a lot of support from my partner and family/friends and I am seeing the perinatal team so I am looking forward for that apt. But I just want hear anyone else’s experiences with baby blues and give me some relief that it doesn’t last forever x

Baby moisturiser (UK)

What are we using for baby moisturisers please ladies?
I started with aveeno because he has sensitive skin and had a lot of rashes when he was born, just can’t afford to spend £9 a bottle when we use it every day!😮‍💨
We’ve tried Aldi moisturiser and Johnson’s moisturiser, they are ok, just wondering what you guys use and would recommend? 🫶🏻

A full 8 hours

My 1 month and five week old newborn just slept 8 hours. I genuinely don’t know who blessed me, but good lord am I thankful. We really only woke up a few times to put her binky back in her mouth. She did just got home from the NICU and adjustment was pretty hard for the past few nights, so she certainly deserves a lot of sleep. Just happy to see her feeling more comfortable.

Hey everyone im New here 👋🏼

This is probably normal, My baby is six weeks today - in the daytime after a feed, change and tummy time he will go to sleep with no fussing etc in his DockAtot ( supervised ) i have now been taking him into his next to me instead for a nap as newborns sleep all the time.

But in his next to me hes very fussy and moves about a lot .. this is also the same in the night time, any suggestions?

Thank you ❤️x

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

Baby hates me?

Why does my baby hate me. All she wants from me is to be fed and then screams and screams at me, she settles with everyone else and i don't understand what im doing wrong. I feel like the worst mum ever and am really struggling.
